Here's something I'd love us Americans to get better at this year, something that our European

friends beat us at in spades. It's speaking more than one language, and you can do so sooner

than you think with Babel. This year speak like a whole new you with Babel, the language learning

app that gets you talking. Learning a new language is the pathway to discovering new cultures,

so why not embark on learning something new? Babel's quick 10-minute

lessons handcrafted by over 200 language experts get you to begin speaking your new language in

three weeks or whatever pace you choose. Babel's tips and tools are inspired by the real-life stuff

you actually need when communicating. With a focus on conversation, you'll be ready to talk

wherever you go.

Like I've said before, I love using Babel.

I'm learning Spanish.

I feel like I'm getting better at it all the time.

But I do really need to go to a Spanish-speaking country and try it out.

I don't know when I'm going to get to do that, but maybe I'll head down to Mexico this summer for a week and see if I can converse the locals.

They wouldn't mind that, right?

A gringo coming onto their turf and awkwardly speaking the language.

But you know what?

Babel's going to help me get by and communicate the way I need to when I'm abroad.

And that's what I love about it.

Let's get more of you talking in a new language.
